Fellow Bulleters! This is my first review in MS and thought would share some of my experience as a Bulleter.I’ve been ridding this bull for around 5 years now and needless to say loved each moment of it!Have had the experiences of owning Machismo/Electra/ and now TBTS.
I would say: Term “The BIKE" may not actually suit these RE models. I would call them "The Bull".
First the Pros-
Comfort-> RE models come with a Pact configuration, the parts used to construct these machines are so heavy that there is no way to fit them all inn without fitting them with strong holds, this gives the machine a stable hold. To Add. Front suspension employs hydraulchandru021y damped forks and rear(Gas filled) with five way adjustable shock absorbers.
Looks and Styling ->Loads of chrome has been used to style. There is minimal graphic display. The colors used have more attiMr_customtakeouters and are more attractive with strong vibrant shades.
Engine ->The machine has single cylinder, 4 stroke 350/500cc engine with peak power of 18 bhp @ 5500 rpm. The engine has a constant vacuum carburetor which assists combustion and improves initial pick-up. And the millage given is not bad these days as I can see some give close to 40km/litr. But who cares isn’t it.

Now for the Cons-
Gear system-> well why on the world do these machines have a semi-neutral in between gears, this one actually sucks. In fact this would worsen the situation of the gear shifts when on motion. May actually cut the clutch plates as the volumes of strokes are high . I simply cannot understand.
Maintenance -> This comes with the package. I would say if you look after the machine, then the machine will take care of your pocket. And more over when one starts to understand ones ride: the problem that comes with it becomes easier to be solved.

Now some of the Do’s ->
1) Change oil frequently, while changing ask the mechanic to flush the tank! This would help those Legendary Oil leakage problems with RE models, Actually there is a saying, if there is no oil leakage then there is no Oil in the bike.:)
2) Tighten chain for every 1500km
3) Slight push of a throttle helps while shifting gears(+)
4) Use Kick start instead of Electric start if the veichele parked for more than 10hrs, increases battery life.
Don’ts
1) Do not change mechanics frequently, Well can’t help in some situations though!
2) Try and avoid sharing the ride with some who do not have a clue about this machine.
3) Do not change gears rapidly, remember this is not a RX100 or some kind of two wheeler.
Well hope I v thrown up decent info to start off with. Enjoy your rides guys.
Enjoy madi. Sudhi here.
